It's the first time the event has been curtailedThe Goodwood Festival of Speed will not hold events as planned Saturday for the first time in its 30-year run due to concerns over high winds, the organizers. Concerns over the potential for damage to temporary structures prompted the late cancellation after a long Friday of dreary British weather promised to worsen ahead of Saturday's competition.
Saturday ticket holders will be refunded, event organizers said, and Sunday's events will go on as planned. The full announcement from the Duke of Richmond and the Festival of Speed Team follows. It is with deep regret that we have taken the decision that the Goodwood Festival of Speed will not go ahead tomorrow .
